[amsat-bb] Re: ISS power / antenna
I believe both the Ericson handhelds and the Kenwood D-700 and D-710 rigs all run 5 watts output. Antennas I think are whips but not sure if 1/4 wave or 1/2 wave Signal strengths of the two ISS ham radio stations: http://amsat-uk.org/2013/07/12/signal-strengths-of-the-two-iss-ham-radio-stations/ 73 Trevor M5AKA On Friday, 31 January 2014, 12:10, Andrew Rich wrote: Hello Trying to work out a link budget for ISS 145.825 MHz Anyone know power or antenna on the bird ? - Andrew - ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Re: Satellite logging software - eQSL
Peter In HRD Logger you need to set the Satellite name and Propagation mode to satellite and both LoTW and eQSL will recognize QSO as Satellite . Dave W0DHB -Original Message- From: amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org [mailto:amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org] On Behalf Of Peter Wilson Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2014 3:34 PM To: amsat-bb@amsat.org Subject: [amsat-bb] Satellite logging software - eQSL Hi everyone, Having been away from the hobby for quite a while I am trying to get to grips with the computer based logging packages. I have an eQSL account and have set up Ham Radio Deluxe to automatically upload my contacts as they are made. However, I cannot find a way of putting a satellite contact in HRD which will then be accepted by eQSL. I have a number of QSO's being rejected as they "disagree" with the recipients log. I'm not that bothered about awards, but I would like to have a seamless way of sending the log files without having to make numerous copies from one logging program to another. I would like to keep using HRD if possible. Anyone use HRD and eQSL for satellites successfully ? If so, how do you do it?? Peter G8KEK ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] FUNcube-1 Dashboard - auto start data capture?
Is there anyway to auto-start the data capture? I'm trying to fully automate the telemetry capture and can start the dashboard when the satellite rises and kill the process when it sets, but can't auto start "Capture from FUNcube Dongle". Could this be added to a future release? Tnx, Ken, W7KKE ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

Hi Ken, I don't have an answer, but I felt you might want to know that Dashboard will run for weeks with no issues, or at least it has on my system. I've seen the failed decode increment over 100,000, without issue. I guess what I'm saying is I just let it run 24/7. 73, Drew KO4MA -Original Message- >From: Ken Swaggart >Sent: Jan 31, 2014 1:19 PM >To: amsat-bb@amsat.org >Subject: [amsat-bb] FUNcube-1 Dashboard - auto start data capture? > > >Is there anyway to auto-start the data capture?

[amsat-bb] Re: FUNcube-1 Dashboard - auto start data capture?
You could use a macro recorder to record and automatically set the mouse movements and clicks necessary to start the capture. Windows back in the days of 3.1 use to include one that was really cool, but it doesn't anymore. The best one I know if is Automator for Windows, but it's not free. http://www.jitbit.com/macro-recorder/automator-for-windows/ Hopefully a future release of the Dashboard might be able to include command line options to autostart capturing. 73, Paul, N8HM On Fri, Jan 31, 2014 at 1:53 PM, Ken Swaggart wrote: > Thanks Drew, > I'm collecting telemetry from several satellites and using the FunCube+ > dongle for other tasks, so felt I should start and stop the dashboard to > free up the dongle. > > 73, > Ken, W7KKE > > -Original Message- From: Andrew Glasbrenner > Sent: Friday, January 31, 2014 10:49 > To: Ken Swaggart ; amsat-bb@amsat.org > Subject: Re: [amsat-bb] FUNcube-1 Dashboard - auto start data capture? > > > Hi Ken, > > I don't have an answer, but I felt you might want to know that Dashboard > will run for weeks with no issues, or at least it has on my system.
